Why I cannot read Harry Potter

For those of you who know me, you know that I am a Harry Potter addict. And not the least bit ashamed. (It is even the wallpaper on my computer!) I have read all 6 books that are out at least 3 times each and have seen the four movies that are out at lease 20 times each (I've seen the 4th one about that many times in the past week alone!-I have Elisabeth hooked as well). I currently own all the books and movies. I plan on pre-ordering book #7 and will be seeing the midnight showing of movie #5 on July 13-opening day. I'll likely be wearing a Harry Potter T-shirt (go ahead and laugh, I'm still not ashamed!). If your interested in seeing the trailer for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, check out the site...http://www2.warnerbros.com/orderofthephoenix/. Anyways...moving on to why I cannot read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Shortly after Christmas I was given the first 4 books on hardback. Shortly after that I decided to go back and read them all before the next movie and book come out (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-book #7 comes out July 21, 2007). I have made my way to #4. Well, tonight I was trying to find a stopping point and wanted to see how close page 300 was to the end of a chapter. And that's where my problem began. My copy does not have a page 300. In fact it does not have pages 275-306. It skips from the middle of chapter 17 to the middle of chapter 18. Looks like I have to find a new stopping point and wait for the publisher to get back to me on how to get a replacement with all the pages. I wonder if I could make any money selling the screwed up one.....hmmmm....So, that is why I cannot read Harry Potter. It's a shame too because I planned on getting it done by the end of next week so I can move onto #5. Looks like I'll just have to stick to the movies for now. even though I've got them all memorized and can recite them without it playing....sad, I know, but that's my life.

    I also pre-ordered the next book. I am hoping to have it while in the hospital.
